In bocca al lupo, cmq per la questione driver nn sei il primo che dopo un update oppure una qualche modifica "blanda" (perchè mi capisce è il lag fix alla fine nn è nulla di estremamente invasivo per il SGS) bricka il dispositivo e windows nn vede più nulla.

Quindi magari riesci a fare con linux oppure, con i tempi dell'RMA portalo in dietro.

Cmq almeno una prova puoi farla: installa ubuntu con wubi, cerchi i driver per linux, lo colleghi in download mode e vedi se te lo riconosce. Se almeno lo vedi sai già che è windows e magari usando un pc appena formattato con un windows 7 a 32bit risolvi (assurdo che ancora oggi cmq ci siano tutti questi casini con i 64 bit.... bha)

If it is Kies that has bricked your phone take it to a service centre and get them to either sort or replace the phone.

In this case it is a Samsung product that has damaged the phone and only with more people hitting back at Samsung will we start to make any impact on getting this hideous software changed or better 'rid of'.

[Q] Bricked i9000m Galaxy S...nothing works...

Hi everybody...I bricked (or semi-bricked i guess) my Bell i9000m phone yesterday.

I was using JPK, and had lagfixed used and removed. everything was working fine. I rebooted the phone to change the battery, and got a bunch of force closes. I turned it off and got the logo screen, then the animated S, then a black screen with the buttons lit up.

I go to download mode, and I reflash JPK, but it says I can't mount SD card (invalid argument).

I reflash back to JH2, and everything installed fine, and it seemed to read the SD seemed to mount alright, but the same thing happened, I get a black screen with the buttons lit up when i touch them.

I flash half a dozen other files to try and fix it, including JM5, JM6, JP3 with clockwork mod recovery on it, Eugene's Froyo that does not brick, JG5, JG8...same results every time.

When I try to flash anything with a 3e recovery (the froyo firmwares), i get the cannot mound SD card error.

Whenever I try to flash anything with a 2.1 firmwares, I can access recovery mode and i can wipe data and wipe partition, but that doesn't seem to do anything.

It's frustrating that I can get to download mode and recovery mode, but i still can't seem to save this phone. Any ideas?? It would be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smacman:
Sounds like the classic i9000M brick scenario. Somebody on another forum suggested flashing to JPK without a modem and csc file. After the flash you should end up in the recovery menu with an option to format. Worth a try...

Riff Jtag Box costs 100-120 euro. But I've understand that using Jtag you will lose your warranty and implicates disassembling the phone entirely.

But I don't know what is this, it seems to me that may be something that service centers can have.

You can buy this box to repair the phone yourself but it is recommended that you send your bricked phone to a shop that has Riff Jtag box (see the dealers page to find the nearest shop maybe) then they do the rest safely.

[Q] Galaxy S bricked and nandroid is not working.

OK, so here's the deal. My Samsung Galaxy S i9000 (running 2.1, rooted, stock ROM, and One Click Lag Fix) is stuck in the "Galaxy S" bootscreen.

I was trying to flash an update.zip which was supposed to give me the stock lockscreen, but now this happened.

I am able to enter Recovery mode, and there were 4 options.

Reboot System Now

Apply sdcard:update.zip

wipe data/factory reset

wipe system cache

I did both wipes, and I am still stuck! I have a nandroid (somewhere) but it's not on my computer, but I thought that restore from nandroid was supposed to be in the recovery menu! I know it is in the Clockwork Mod/ROM Manager app, but I can't access those!

I have been waiting for hours. It is plugged into my laptop, but nothing can see my phone (I don't think adb can either, not sure.)

What should I do? I have a external SD card, if that would help... :D I don't have Odin installed, I have Kies installed, I have ADB installed, and I am running Windows 7 32-bit.

Please help,

Jeremy

[Q] Bell GT-I9000 Kind of bricked...Help?

Hey, all

I've got a Bell SGS that was having the "random shutdown" issue. I applied the "one-click lag fix" to the phone, thinking it might help. Didn't really make the problem go away.

Yesterday, I was browsing these forums and I saw that there were some near-release versions of the Froyo firmware for my phone, so I fired up Odin and gave it a go. Phone worked great for about 24 hours, until I noticed that I had no 3G/HSPA data (phone worked, just no data). I pulled the battery and now I am unable to boot past the "Galaxy S" welcome screen.

I've been doing research on the solution for about 6 hours now, and I have SOME idea what needs to be done, just not really sure on the details of how to do it. Please feel free to let me know if I'm totally off base here.

- Need to obtain the firmware that would have come with my phone

- Need to figure out how to repair the partitioning changes the one-click lag fix made

I've found some firmware files here and there, but they don't seem to be what I would expect to see to plug in to Odin (CSC, Modem, PIT, etc).

No clue how to fix the partition table.

Some important tidbits:

- My phone is able to enter the 3-button download mode without difficulty

- Phone can also hit the system recovery menu. None of the wipes seem to help.

If I've missed anything, please let me know. Bell has agreed to let me send the phone in for repair, but I suspect once they get under the hood I won't be getting any help there.

Now, how can I recover my data? I dont have windows here, but I could go to a
